Leakage after Prostate Cancer surgery: Concerned about travel and pads

Has anyone tried electronic device like Pelvidex to strengthen pelvic floor muscles & improve continence?

@eshan Please write and explain. What brand are you using? Why in the shower? Have you used it with cloths. Do you still leak while it’s on? It should be used with a pad (Tena Maximum absorption is good) so you can catch any drips. You don’t want to clamp it too tight. Let me and Jeffmarc know to see if we can assist.

I am using Wiesner brand clamp and Depend brand pads. Because I don’t want my towel get wet and the urine is dripping. The problem i have the clamp gets loose and comes out. When the clamp is on then it doesn’t leak unless it becomes loose. Couple of times I used with clothes and it was not comfortable when I am sitting. I am afraid that will come off.
Thanks for your help and advice guys in advance.

@lyricw
This is the first time I am hearing about it. I have not. Which one? The price is from $45 to $195.
If it is worth it I don’t mind buying it.
Thanks

@eshan I saw ads online & was intrigued. I was hoping to get feedback from others. I might try it.

@eshan
Must admit this is strange. I have used the Wiesner Clamp for at least four years now and I’ve never had it come loose. I completely forget about the fact that it’s on until I feel it after 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I wear it going to the gym and sit on multiple different seats, I wear it going to people’s houses where I may sit in multiple chairs, I go to a bar that has a big dance floor Get up and down in between songs. Never even thought about it coming loose.

The hinge that clicks has got to be at the bottom on the left. You push it down Into that hinge and you should get four clicks, though it might be too tight for some people and need only two or three clicks. Make sure you use the right size of the 3 removable spacers so that it Isn’t too tight or too loose.

@jeffmarc
It might be a Righthand thing.

You can have the thing you push down into on the right as well as a left, but that tab must be on the bottom. If you feel underneath where the bottom cushion is, you’ll feel there’s a protrusion that pushes up into the bottom of your penis and that must be at the bottom.

@eshan Something is not right with how you are clamping it down. I wear the clamp 18 hours a day. To the gym, on the treadmill, while biking, hiking, swimming. Try clicking it in until you hear 4 clicks. Use the most pronounced spacer and make sure you wear it with the spacer side on the bottom where the urine flows in the urethra. Test the fit by trying to urinate with the clamp on. If you for some reason you can urinate at that tightest setting you’ll need to place a small thin sliver of foam or rubber inside the bottom pad. Also, you don’t want to set it tighter than necessary to stop approx. 95% of the leaking.

If you empty your bladder before showering and clamp when done showering you shouldn’t be leaking unless there is a big problem with incomplete bladder emptying. Hope this helps.
